	answer	answer answer text <p>Local authorities must secure accommodation within their own district so far as is reasonably practicable. Where it is not possible to secure accommodation within their district and an authority has secured accommodation outside their district, the authority is required to take into account the distance of that accommodation from the district of the authority. Authorities should try to secure accommodation that is as close as possible to where an applicant was previously living. Councils must also take into account the impact a change in location would have on a household, including the possible disruption to peoples’ jobs and children’s schooling.</p><p>The Department collects data on the number of out of district placements, by local authority, under the interim duty to accommodate whilst making enquiries etc. and under the duty to secure temporary accommodation whilst awaiting settled accommodation.

However, my officials also regularly meet representatives of the community led housing sector, including the Confederation of Co-operative Housing (CCH), to discuss how they can positively contribute to the delivery of new housing.</p>
